tunzes for a 180?

[bruddah]

hello,
i was wondering if i could get some advice. i am planning on setting up a standard 180 sps dominated tank and i was thinking of using tunzes. ive gotten some advice from other reefers in mind but heres my latest plan:
- mag 18 for return plumbed to one 1" sea swirl
- 2 tunze6100 + multicontroller

what do you think? any another recommendations? also, if i went with an am3k plumbed to two 1" seaswirls, would it be overdoing it?

thanks

I don't share the love of Mags or Amp masters so I wouldn't recommend either. Neither product is bad really but they could be better. I don't think you can beat GRI pumps for energy efficiency, low noise and just general quality. This is the pump I would recommend. Mags just run too hot- they may be reasonably well built and safe but they are hot. Ampmasters have seals that can leak and I don't understand the need to return 3000+ gph. Otherwise your plan is sound but take a look at the GRI pumps on Champions website.
